Welcome to EDUCATE ME!


About EDUCATE ME


This Wiki is in its developmental stages but will be used to create a platform for my students to explore subjects and topics that they will engage in with other members of their class, school. It is my hope that this space will be utilized to heighten learning and create conversations about subjects and topics that we can explore deeper.

Here is a quote from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow that encapsulates the message of EDUCATE ME:

"The heights by great men reached and kept were not obtained by sudden flight. But they while their companions slept, were toiling upward through the night." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
